Google Chrome Extensions - What do you use in 2016?

Is there any advantage in using WOT as i thought wot used google safe browsing.

 

It's possible it does use Google Safe Browsing, but I've used WOT for about six years on multiple browsers and I've just got used to it.

 

It may have gotten better but when I tried this some time ago I was put off with the way ratings were formulated. Much of it was just user opinions with no basis.. Safe Browsing is not opinions it's based on facts.

 

That's what I've found too. But im my experience Site Advisor is even worse.

 

A smallish update, I have recently switched various extensions to solve youtube video delay caused by Adguard DNS.

• Adblock for Youtube (to bypass the delay and to disable Annotations as well)
• An inbuilt flash blocker
  
• CanvasFingerprintBlock
  
• Context Menu Search
  
• Dictionary Lookup
  
• Disable HTML5 Autoplay
• Mail.ru Checker
• Turn Off The Lights (it also lets to choose the default video resolution)
• Vanilla Cookie Manager
  
• WebRTC Control (Leak Prevent stopped working)

 

• uBlock Origin
• ScriptSafe
• HTTPS Everywhere
• Flash Video Downloader
• Speed Dial FVD
• Click & Clean

Does anyone know of an extension similar to Collusion (this has been removed from the Chrome Store) or Lightbeam but for Chrome?

 

Maybe this:

 

Thanks. I knew about Disconnect I just want a list of what loads on a page but I didn't say that in the post.

I had found such an extension that had a drop down listing all the loaded sites in a format that allowed me to search for the sites on WOT or Safe Browsing but it seems Chrome has recently removed a lot of extensions that don't have many users.

 

Thanks to @WildByDesign and @yeL I use Chromium stable (same release as Chrome):
- no sync version has WebRTC IP leak disabled
- started with --disable-reading-from-canvas switch (thanks to @Sampei Nihira )
- with settings Safe Browsing and Do not track (allow session cookies only)
- enabled in about://flags disable hyperling auditing and reduce referrer granularity

Using extensions

• Blank new tab (open source)
• Animation policy (playing animation gif's disabled)
• AdBlockPlus using only Peter Lowe's blocklist (blocks most ads without triggering anti-Adblock prompts on the websites I visit).
  
• Script Blocker for Chrome (block and allow same domain for Scripts, Plugins and iFrame's) DISABLED (STOP in icon). When I surf/search for stuff on the internet I use incognito mode and switch (third-party) Script Blocker on.

 

My latest list of Chrome extensions:

• Don't track me Google
• HTTPS Everywhere
• Norton Identity Safe
• Norton Security Toolbar
• Privacy Badger
• ScriptSafe
• uBlock Origin
• uBlock Origin WebSocket

 

1/ uBlock Origin

2/ A+ Font Rendering Enhancer

 

After installing YouTube High Definition in FF / CF I was looking for a simple extension to hide annotations @ youtube in Chrome, but then I came across this simple filter to add to an adblocker (like uBO or ABP):

Code:

||youtube.com/annotations_

It works!

I did try Magic Actions for YouTube in Chrome but besides doing way more than I needed I disliked having to go to their site to change settings.

 

If you want to hide more than that, there is a whole collection of filters available:

Code:

https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/yt_annoyances_comments.txt
https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/yt_annoyances_suggestions.txt
https://easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/yt_annoyances_other.txt

 

Turn Off lights (handy by itself) works for changing resolution as well as a few other settings. Adblock for Youtube disables ADs and annotations.

 

Yeah, I know about these and I am using the "yt_annoyances_other" filter but it wasn't blocking all annotations like the description says. The others block more than I want.

I could try Turn Off the Lights but uBlock Origin blocks the ads and if I disable Auto-play, enlarge the video and set the resolution on the first video I watch the settings get carried over to the next videos too. It was the annotations that bugged me the most.

Cheers.

 

Has anyone tried this? Its supposed to be like RequestPolicy.

There appears to have been a change at youtube where after setting the resolution of the first video that resolution no longer carries to the next videos., so I've installed a simple and light extension to solve this.

HD for YouTube

There are others but this one suites my needs.
